Wow, the cucumber trellis is great!

I hope you continue to improve @plumduff55 .

And I havent heard of micro crochet,  how interesting!

So many lovely cards @Florenceem and @Tiggermad

  I have made a couple of coat hanger covers. The hangers are the sort for trousers and jacket. I made them with vintage tray cloths, the red is applique and embroidery, the white cut work. I am going to go back and pad the red one.
I have also recovered the seat of a chair to match the bedroom curtains.
Counting that as 2 makes.

I imagine the shows were probably better in the past @Florenceem it felt a little bit lacking. Helpful for not spending but couldn't find anything I was looking for 🙃

old_fogey - pretty coat hanger covers.
Cupcakecraftscuddlycanine - I expect they were - used to be so busy with lots of stalls.
I sold all the Easter mugs and egg cups plus card bunny packs today at the table top sale.

Did a cup of Easter chocs yesterday.
Today I made a Birthday card for Dgs.
I found 2 bunnies in SA donations so made them into Easter gifts - hope they sell at Dd's school.

Hi, at last I've finished some sewing - a table runner for my son. I bought the pattern from Etsy and the sewing was very easy. The difficult part was placing the squares of fabric. My brain could just not get round the diagonal pattern. But I got there eventually and I'm very happy with it even if some of the joins are not squared perfectly 🥴.

@Florenceem ❤️all your Easter makes
@Auti beautiful crochet
@Poppy_Golightly  great idea with the crochet
@old_fogey lovely hanger covers

Lovely table runner! I really must make my Christmas one this year.

I have nothing to report- the second hand blender was for protein shakes 🙄 and so is a duff. I will look for a proper blender at the car boots and see what I can find.

My friend has just had her baby, a little girl, so I will take my patterns folder round for her to choose some things she'd like and then I'll get sewing.

I also need to make some more birthday cards for my next craft stall as I'm running a little low, and make a few more necklaces as they always seem to sell well.

So many lovely makes on here. Some very talented people. I am so desperate to get back to crafting but other things seem to be getting in the way at the moment. (I havnt even managed to make up my christmas cards. Usually done by end of February!) Last night I did manage to get 12 cardboard hats made for the childrens easter craft group at community club. They will look good on their sock bunnys once decorated.

All my Easter makes have sold.
 I have to make one of the card bunny packs for a friend and remake sweet cones for Dgc as I sold the ones I made for them!
I have an order for an apron for one of my ladies who has a table at the sale each month.
I am going to make some aprons for father's day gifts - don't have a lot of suitable fabrics though. I have some mugs to fill as gifts.

Finished the little crochet creatures for child and sibling for extra Easter pressy. Dull weather here and rain, am feeling a bit lonely so thought I would share these with you. My routine has gone upside down so struggling a little will be glad when it is Tuesday and can follow the routine on the calendar (lots of good things to do with child in the holiday). Thank you for reading

@Auti, these are so cute. The children will love them. When I first started work in a boarding school the walls were covered in paintings of Blip and Booster. 2,Aliens from a story in the 70's. These little creatures remind me of them.
